New!
Hello, everyone! I've been using MFP since October to track with, and am now getting deeper into it. I especially need to get a handle on my carb intake, which is too much, as I've been told I'm pre-diabetic, and also my cholesterol is creeping up. I'd like to think I don't need to lose weight, but losing a few would…

Starting over need someone to buddy with to keep me on track
Hi everyone, I'm Shirley. I've been a yoyo dieter pretty much all of my adult life, since about 2018/19 throw in some serious binging. It's always sweet food, never savoury. I'm 57 and really need to loose a couple of stone, for my knees. I'm done with point counting, eating by colours and the very low carb thing and just…

Here it goes....
Been on MFP several years but never really committing. Just signed up for premium service. After retiring and going to cardiologist for first time was told my LDL was extremely high.

My countdown to healthier
So I started Nov 1 with the goal of making better health choices in order to be healthier and comfortable in my body. This is actually my second time with MFP.

Reigniting the passion
I've had a personal trainer since October and strength/endurance wise I'm the strongest I've ever been. I want to lose about 30 lbs. I lost 80 before. I'm 40 lbs up from that but my composition is a *lot* more muscle than I had when I lost the weight. I'm starting to really hunker down on my diet and mental clarity again…

Weight Loss
My weight loss journey began when I weighed 221 pounds. I’m a 5’11 man and I was eating Fast food and take out daily. Not only was this making a dent in my bank account but my personal health deteriorated as well. I wanted to make a change in my lifestyle and wanted to go slow. I did not increase my workout intensity but I…

Looking for success stories
Who does not use a fitness tracker but has still lost weight? How did you do it? My Fitbit broke and I am debating getting a new one. I’d like to hear success stories from people who’ve not had one. Are the exercise calories burned when you log an exercise accurate? I realize Fitbit calories burned are just an estimate as…

I need a support group, or something
I want to workout consistently and for a while I was. I would do some form of workout for at least 10 minutes each day, whether it’s a full workout or active recovery. But recently, I’ll make it two days of the bare minimum and then be really inactive on the third (and sometimes fourth) day. And then the cycle repeats. I…

32f waiting on a hip replacement and MFP is a lifesaver
I was in an accident 6 months ago that destroyed my hip. It was devastating to go from being able to run for hours on end to not being able to walk more than a few steps unassisted. I'm still waiting on a hip replacement. I ran a 10 mile road race exactly a week before the accident and 5 miles the day before and had been…

How many times have I restarted now?!
Oh my gosh! My eating has gotten out of control! And, I don't know how to stop overeating. My realization of this was last night - no judgement please - when I had healthy filling for tacos and then I had not one portion of potato salad (I'm trying to clean out the fridge, which makes for odd meals) but ended up eating…
